This two-day, in-person workshop gives researchers a thorough grounding in using Python to process and analyse image data.

Participants will learn the fundamentals of image processing using the skimage library to analyse many different properties of an image, primarily focused on morphometrics, but which are widely applicable to a range of image analysis problems.

Starting with how images are represented in digital format, the pros and cons of different image file formats, metadata and how images are stored in arrays, we will move through various lessons to explore image data, implementing bitwise operations, masks, filtering and thresholding to optimise your analysis.

The workshop will culminate in a hands-on exercise that provides participants with the opportunity to combine the approaches learned throughout all of the previous lessons.
